    anuvākyā Tatpur. f. (-kyā) The name of such verses of the

    Ṛgveda as are recited by the priest Hotṛ (q. v.), when the

    deity is invoked by him to partake of the Havis or clarified

    butter. This word is found frequently together with yājyā

    (q. v.), the name of those hymns of the same Veda which

    are recited by the Hotṛ when the Havis-oblation is actually

    made. The Anuvākyās are spoken in a slow or as it were

    drawling tone, while the Yājyās are recited quickly. Accord-

    ing to the Mīmānsā no priest but the Hotṛ is allowed to

    recite either of them. Compare also puro'nuvākyā and yā-

    jyānuvākyā. E. vac with anu, kṛtya aff. ṇyat.
